We know for our problem that the zeroes of our quadratic equation are (2-3i) and (2+3i), which means that the solutions for our equation are x=2-3i and x=2+3i. We are going to use those solutions to express our quadratic equation in the form a x^{2} +bx+c; to do that we will use the <span>zero factor property in reverse:
</span>x=2-3i
x-2=-3i
x-2+3i=0
<span>
</span>x=2+3i
x-2=3i
x-2-3i=0
<span>
Now, we can multiply the left sides of our equations:
</span>(x-2+3i)(x-2-3i)= x^{2} -2x-3ix-2x+4+6i+3ix-6i-3^2i^2
<span>= </span>x^{2}-4x+4-9i^{2}
= x^{2} -4x+4+9
= x^{2} -4x+13
Now that we have our quadratic in the form a x^{2} +bx+c, we can infer that a=1 and b=-4; therefore, we can conclude that a+b=1+(-4)=1-4=-3.

Which measurements are for a rectangle with an area of 16 square units?
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

This would be <em>length = 4</em> and <em>width = 4</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because to find the area of a rectangle its length x width.

So the two numbers that multiply to 16 is 4 and 4.

Which of the following describes the correct process for solving the equation 2x − 4 = 20 and arrives at the correct solution? A
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is A. Add 4 to both sides, and then divide by 2. The solution is x = 12.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. For solving the question and understand which of the statements matches with the solution, let's proceed with the equation:

2x − 4 = 20

2x  - 4 + 4 = 20 + 4 (Adding 4 at both sides)

2x = 24

2x/2 = 24/2 (Dividing by 2 at both sides)

x = 12

<u>The correct answer is A. Add 4 to both sides, and then divide by 2. The solution is x = 12.</u>

5x=3x+18

2x/2=18/2

x    =9

5 x 9 -7 = 36

3 x 9 + 11=36
